Welsh is a beautiful language spoken in Wales, a country located in the United Kingdom. In this lesson, you will learn how to introduce yourself in Welsh, including saying your name, age, and where you are from.

Basic Greetings

Before we dive into introducing ourselves, let's first learn the most common Welsh greetings:

• "Prynhawn da" - Good afternoon
• "Noswaith dda" - Good evening

Introducing Yourself

When introducing yourself in Welsh, you would typically start by saying "Helo". This is followed by "dw i'n" which means "I am". You can then state your name, age and where you are from.

• "Helo, dw i'n [name], dw i'n [age] oed, ac dw i'n dod o [place]" - Hello, I am [name], I am [age] years old, and I am from [place]

For example:

• "Helo, dw i'n Tom, dw i'n ddeunaw oed, ac dw i'n dod o Gaerdydd" - Hello, I am Tom, I am 18 years old, and I am from Cardiff

Let's break down the sentence:

• "Helo" - Hello
• "dw i'n" - I am
• "Tom" - Tom (insert your name here)
• "ddeunaw" - 18 (insert your age here)
• "oed" - years old
• "Caerdydd" - Cardiff (insert your hometown or city here)

Here is a table of vocabulary that you can use when introducing yourself:
